Specialized epitope tags are widely used for detecting, manipulating or purifying proteins, but often their versatility is limited. Here, we introduce the ALFA-tag, a rationally designed epitope tag that serves a remarkably broad spectrum of applications in life sciences while outperforming established tags like the HA-, FLAG®- or myc-tag. The ALFA-tag forms a small and stable α-helix that is func

Forskningen fokuserar på prekonceptionell hälsa, psykisk ohälsa, förlossningsrädsla, födande och förebyggande av bristningar, postpartumvård och amning samt pedagogik inom barnmorskeprogrammet. Våra forskningsfrågor utgår från barnmorskans profession med fokus på vården före, i samband med och efter barnafödande. Barnmorskans verksamhetsområde innehåller hälsofrämjande arbete och prevention genoThe research in our group focuses on pre-conception care, mental health, fear of birth, the birth process, prevention of perineal tears, post-partum care and breastfeeding. Pedagogical aspects within midwifery training are also studied. Our research questions stem from the midwifery profession, focusing on care provide before, during and after pregnancy. Midwifery encompasses health promotion be

Diverse organisms use Earth’s magnetic field as a cue inorientation and navigation. Nevertheless, eliciting magneticorientation responses reliably, either in laboratory or naturalsettings, is often difficult. Many species appear to preferentiallyexploit non-magnetic cues if they are available, suggesting that themagnetic sense often serves as a redundant or ‘backup’ source ofinformation. This rais

Objective To examine change in health-related quality of life in association with clinical outcomes of neuropsychiatric events in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods An international study evaluated newly diagnosed SLE patients for neuropsychiatric events attributed to SLE and non-SLE causes. The outcome of events was determined by a physician-completed seven-point scale and compared with

Vårt mål är att öka kunskapen om demens- och minnessjukdomar - alltifrån uppkomst till behandling. Forskningen omfattar ett flertal diagnoser, bland annat Alzheimers sjukdom, Lewy Body demens och Parkinsons sjukdom. Markörer och tidig upptäckt av Alzheimer, genom bland annat ryggvätskeprov, är ett styrkeområde där vi uppnått resultat som omsatts i daglig, klinisk användning. Genom innovativ använWe embrace the big picture of dementia and memory diseases. This includes the course from origin and early detection to treatment. The scope includes a wide range of diagnoses, among these Alzheimer’s Disease, Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. Early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease, by using new markers, is one of our most promising fields. Spinal fluid test concepts, developed by us, ar

Mjukdelssarkom utgör en heterogen grupp av ovanliga tumörer och innefattar ett 50-tal olika subtyper med varierande klinisk bild och prognos. Två tredjedelar är höggradigt maligna tumörer och en tredjedel av patienterna avlider i tumörsjukdom. I Södra sjukvårdsregion är vården av patienter med sarkom centraliserad till SUS/Lund. Sarkomgruppen i Lund utreder och behandlar patienter med sarkom och Soft tissue sarcomas constitute a heterogeneous group of rare tumours with some 50 histopathologic types with different clinical characteristics and prognosis. Two thirds are highly malignant tumours and one third of the patients die due to metastatic disease. The care of sarcoma patients in the Southern Swedish health care region is centralised to the Lund Sarcoma Centre. We have a large data ba

This thesis concerns the successive use of fixed-term contracts under Clause 5 of the Framework Agreement in the sector of sports and whether such usage provides protection from dismissal for pregnant workers. This was done by using a legal dogmatic method in the field of EU law. The paper starts with identifying the role of sports in EU labour law. It was held that sports have a special standing
